Nope, you get eleVAte points based on the fare price you paid, they generally don't offer them on any of the excess charges such as bag fees and upgrades.

I had wondered the same thing after the first time I bought a walk-up upgrade, and when no points posted after several more walk-ups, came to the same conclusion. And, considering this, it's part of the trade-off of being able to buy the walk-up at what is normally a considerably reduced fare relative to buying F at time of original booking.
